The restaurant industry encourages Angelenos to support local restaurants by joining #TheGreatAmericanTakeout. A coalition of restaurants – including Panera Bread, Noodles & Company, Veggie Grill, El Torito, Jason’s Deli, the Habit Burger Grill, Lemonade, Modern Market and Chevys Fresh Mex – are asking customers to order delivery or pick-up to help support restaurant workers. “This is no longer about the survival of individual restaurants,” said Russ Bendel, CEO of the Habit Burger Grill. “It’s about the future of our industry. And time has run out. Together, we must act to support each other and our communities in unprecedented ways.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, there is little evidence that COVID-19 can be transmitted through food or packaging.
